Carrier Apple.com New 2018 iPhone Pre-Order Thread

[Sifko36]

To get my mind off my phone not moving from ZZ still, I checked my email from last years X launch. And I received the “Your Shipment is on its way”email from Apple at 3:47am Thursday the day before launch. So if they stay consistent then in a little over 3hrs we’ll start getting those emails.

Anchorage is a port of entry for customs clearance.

All customs checks for iPhone shipments happen In Louisville at Worldport. Anchorage is just a stop and refuel. Sometimes as short as a 45 minute stop.

I got curious and googled it. By going through Anchorage instead of directly to the lower 48, they don’t have to fill the planes with as much fuel allowing them to add more cargo on a flight, thus increasing revenue

Nice!! That super cool!

Well, I’m still in Incheon, but I received my silicone case

 

[AZhappyjack]

Same here my watch is in Anchorage but my phone is still chilling in Incheon. Ugh LOL.

This. Exactly my situation. Situation normal. It will all work out. It always does.

Phone still sitting in Incheon. But my progress bar has moved up a lot since.

Agreed. I’m in the boat with you guys.

Interesting. This happened to me too. Phone in incheon, but progress bar moved up a lot.

I’ve noticed that too! But I think that bar just corresponds with the date instead of actual progress. But that’s just my own thinking. I hope I’m proven wrong!!

This fiasco bro! Any thoughts on the beginning of the movement from Hong Kong? What's going on, why the delay?

Most likely our phones have left Hong Kong and the next time we see an update it will magically be in Kentucky, or leaving Alaska.

This is the only progress bar i trust

Agreed my 6S sat in China for a long time then about 24hrs before delivery a flurry of updates and it was delivered on launch.

Yet it only says prepared for shipping and UPS actually shows package being shipped. Hmm

 

[Denpech]

I’m in the same batch. I’m hoping it’s just a tracking delay.

The delay may be for an hour or several hours, but we have already two days. By 21 delivery of a parcel can no longer wait Monday only or later.

To summarize none of us have our phones yet. Cheers!

I do not believe in magic! It seems to me that all will be very bad.

I’m not optimistic RE: ZZ 2:10s

Then how do you explain this?

 

[MozMan68]

and suddenly..."preparing to ship" (Sep28 to Oct-5 quoted delivery)

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

My case sat a day then the UPS trailer was late and then after that they incorrectly sorted it and it said it was delayed. All that and it still made it today on time. UPS is pretty good at fixing their mistakes to avoid delays

A little off topic, but my Apple silicone case and Otterbox Symmetry case for Xs Max both arrived today. My Belkin protector will be here Friday (temporary) to install on day 1, while my Zagg will ship on Monday.
